“Tragédie, Coïncidence et La Double Vie de L.L.D.M” is the second chapter of the trilogy “Memories of Things Past”, a fiction-documentary project based on historical records that the visual artist Zhen Shi started in 2015. She employs a 19-century Belgian family diary as its source, retracing a series of coincidences and a tragedy related to the diary that have taken place over the years. Combining text, image, correspondence, telephone record, archive and other media in its presentation, the book seeks to explore the complex relationship between reality and memory under the general proposition “Archive and Fiction” / “Private and Public” in the context of contemporary art.
